Without looking it up what’s the default text messaging app called on stock Android?

Please note I said default text messaging (ie. SMS/MMS etc) and stock (as in what Google Android Open Source Project and many other Google Play enabled phones run for their OS.

“Google Messages (formerly known as Messenger, Android Messages, and Messages by Google)”

How are they so bad at this?

@mattl Google Messages is not a stock Android app. “Messaging” (com.android.messaging) is the stock app.

@Anibyl @mattl it's been messages for a while now for me? What version of Android are you on?

@fancysandwiches @mattl I guess by messages you mean Google Messages. It's not a part of the Android open-source project, but *some* phone manufacturers preinstall Google apps which makes them kinda “stock”. “Messaging” is a part of the AOSP, and it looks like this:
I'm on Android 15, Graphene OS.

@Anibyl @mattl yeah, so to answer the original question, it's Messages and has been for a long time. Messages is what ships on all of the Pixel Phones. Graphene is anything but stock. It's awesome, but not stock.

@fancysandwiches @mattl Many phone manufacturers have their own messaging apps. Like Xiaomi that I used to have. Google Messages is not a stock app in the whole Android world. But it's for sure a common one.

@Anibyl @fancysandwiches How many of the Android phones that the average person in the West can buy in a store ship with Google’s messaging app? Approximately? 90%?
